Chapter 136: Tug of War [unedited]

I've seen a lot of people die in Heilon. Many people were deeply saddened by the loss of their families. I also know how far that despair could drive people. However, I could not put my heart into every one of those things. If I had poured out my emotions, my mind wouldn't have been able to survive. In the end, what I could do in the war was to protect the survivors as much as possible. Therefore, although, Rizé's situation was obviously pitiful, it didn't cause me much agitation. 

However, somehow I was still angry. The exact reason was unknown. I was even more irritated than usual. 

I gathered the knights and explained the situation immediately after sending Rizé back. 

I smiled brightly. “What do you think about this situation?”

Leander quickly replied. “Now, he is spreading false rumors and tarnishing the Miss' honor. And Miss is the only heir to the Heilon family.”

Another knight spoke, “In other words, this is about Heilon's honor. No matter who he is, the head of a noble family or whatever, we can't just let it go.”

That was a very exemplary answer.

I clapped. “Right, I think so too. To be honest, I'm also in a state where I'm determined to make a fuss once I got him in my hand.”

The knights laughed briefly. 

“In fact, Miss, we thought you would.”

“As expected Miss, a good judgement!”

Haha, everyone was good at flattery. 

Everyone shouted in unison, “I owe you a debt, so I have to pay the interest!”

Well, the proud warriors of the north didn't seem to forget Heilon's ways even after they came to the capital. 

Good. 

I smiled gracefully. “Who agrees to rob the crook who's selling my name?”

Everyone quickly raised their hands.

Bill Curtis was originally the fourth son of the Curtis family. His three older brothers had their own specialties but only Bill was not good at anything. He didn't even deserve the inheritance because he was the fourth son. 

One day, a good 'fortune' came to Bill, who had been pessimistic about his useless situation. While he was out hunting with his family, the darkness suddenly appeared. And all died. He was the only one surviving. His brothers who have those dazzling talents died, and he survived. 

However, rather than being sad, Bill felt more joy in his family situation. The man who had been living with a feeling of inferiority towards his brother all this time finally gained satisfaction. 

He was special. Why? Because he survived the darkness where all humans died! He was different. His talent was not like the common talent that his brothers had. He was the chosen one, the thought welled up in Bill's mind. 

He even heard a voice in the 'darkness' when all living things died upon contact. Bill thought it was a revelation. In addition to that, since that day, monsters have avoided him. It was clear that they were afraid of him because he was the chosen one. 

Everyone thought the 'darkness' was a disaster, but it wasn't. The owner of that voice must be God. The God who came down to get rid of the wrong. And the god chose him to be a good example. Therefore, he couldn't stay still. As the Chosen One, he must lend a helping hand to those ignorant and oblivious humans. 

Bill quickly made some noise. At first, no one believed him. However, as the darkness began to appear frequently, people trembled in fear. Ergo, more and more people listened to Bill. At just the right time, the darkness appeared in the nearby village and killed many people. This means the number of people who have lost their loved ones, such as lovers, family, and friends to the darkness has increased. Those who were saddened were more easily seduced by Bill's words. Because they needed a place to lean on.

“Count, is my son really going to survive?”

Bill regularly gathered his followers to tell his story. One thing was for sure, he was a good talker because everyone quickly fell in love with him

He looked annoyed at the sight of the middle-aged woman in old clothes begging in front of his eyes. What a dumbass, he thought.

“Didn't I tell you last time? You should bring something more valuable!”

“The ones I gave you in the past are the valuables that all I have…”

“Is your son's life worth only that much?”

“Well, that's not it, but….”

The woman begged the frowning Bill by hanging in his trouser.

“My son..he is a good boy. He loves his little sister, so he sells goods around the country with to earn some money. It must have been a mistake for God to take the child… Please save my son…”

The noise annoyed Bill. He then kicked her.

“Go away!”

Dug! The woman rolled helplessly on the ground. 

“…”

Bill glared at her annoyed. There were annoying things that sometimes went too far even without money. 

'Just shut up and listen to me, and cheer!'

He liked seeing people raving about him. After all, he was the chosen one to save these fools! 

“Wait. It seems that the God who sleeps in the darkness hasn't yet forgive your son.” Bill said solemnly, barely calming himself after kicking the woman. 

Even after rolling on the ground, the woman still held out hope that she would see her son. She hasn't seen the body. Therefore, she couldn't give up her hope that she could see her child one more time. 

The woman got up quickly and groaned. “Ah, I see. Thank you, thank you, Count.”

Bill secretly laughed at the woman's shabby appearance and then turned around. His followers should not be those stupid people. He remembered a woman. 

'Fiona Heilon'.

He has been keeping his ears out to the gossip about her. She must be a human being who has been enlightened just like him. 

'I'm sure she must have heared the voice…'

Therefore, he has to make a room for her beside him. 

'I think it's a little stupid of you to keep rejecting my offer.'

It was a pity indeed.
